The plague now has a marvelous prescription for both cure and prevention, and the officials have issued public notices: all commoners can go to the clinics to receive a bowl of Gypsum and Turtle Shell Soup for prevention—if sick, it treats illness; if not, it strengthens the body. As for the clinics' expenses, the officials will negotiate with them, and many good people have donated money, Silver, and medicinal herbs to help.
Besides using decoctions for prevention, they also warned the commoners not to eat animal carcasses and to burn them instead, so as not to contract the plague and lose their lives by mistake.
